Windows 7 seems to be located in my /dev/sda1 partition. However, ever since I installed Ubuntu (not using wubi) my fully encrypted HDD/partition will not prompt me with the password but instead boots straight to ubuntu. Ubuntu does not even recognize my windows partition. More interestingly, I did a boot repair and these are the results that show:

When I use my windows 7 DVD to repair my system it doesn't even show windows 7 is installed. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Do I need to use my encryption rescue disk? I have been trying everything and have not had much success. Thanks!

I used Truecrypt (encrypted full partition/drive). I have a truecrypt rescue disk and I'm going to try to decrypt it and restore the original master boot. Hopefully it works. Will have an update on this after I try it.

Well I tried to decrypt everything and then restore the mbr boot sequence but it didn't seem to work either . However, I did notice something interesting. I noticed that I am on partition/drive X: (where I installed ubuntu) while my windows 7 os system is on drive C:/. Could this be the reason why my bios is not finding Windows 7 OS? If so, how could I boot back to my C:/ drive?
